No

#

Well

vagrant scroll
#

the pre-quests

wintry chasm
#

The 24-man one should be main story now

grave lichen
#

how do you level a blu mage, just grind mobs?

wintry chasm
#

Basically. If you have a friend you can pull a bunch of higher level mobs and have your friend kill them for power leveling

unreal sierra
#

Huh? What do you mean main story? I read all raids are optional

wispy parcel
#

Crystal Tower raids are required now

wintry chasm
#

5.3 update made the ARR 24-man raid MSQ

#

Rest are optional though as normal

unreal sierra
#

Which raid is that?

wintry chasm
#

The 8-man raid is unique for ARR. It's normal mode is savage level of difficulty so it's not really ran normally and it's not on a roulette. If you make a unsynced party in party finder and say there is a first time bonus that should get people to help out. You don't really need many level 80 players, 1 or 2 will usually do. The expansion 8-man raids have normal difficulty fights that are casual and they are commonly done

#

@unreal sierra As Sora said the ARR 24-man raid is ||Crystal Tower||

unreal sierra
#

Ok. That wasn't listed in the raid list wiki sorry

wintry chasm
#

Link?

unreal sierra
wise dock
#

I accidently let a duty countdown expire and now it says I have a penalty count. What is that exactly?

weary burrow
#

if u take agro from tank, does that mean ur dmg is good? or tank just bad

#

XD

unreal sierra
#

Wax you can get up to three then you get banned from Df for 30m

#

So don't do it :)

wintry chasm
#

Oh it's there it's just not named exactly

#

@weary burrow depends

unreal sierra
#

Are what is listed wings of ct?

wintry chasm
#

Ummm

#

Sure yes

#

Labrynth, Sycrus, WoD

unreal sierra
#

Ok makes sense now.

wintry chasm
#

Each alliance raid series has 3 separate...duties

weary burrow
#

when do i get an offhand thingy

wintry chasm
#

For?

#

What class?

granite swan
#

i think only Paladin gets one, or someone said on here before

wintry chasm
#

Yes and no

wispy parcel
#

of the combat jobs only Paladin gets one, tho at early levels Conjurers also can use shields

weary burrow
#

nvm my class doesnt have it, summy xd

wintry chasm
#

And thaumaturge Sora

#

And crafting and gathering jobs get offhand tools

Soo, I have 3 inventory tabs full of mob loot. I don't have any crafting jobs, so should I vendor everything or try to sell them in the market?

granite swan
#

What is an "Allagan Catalyst" for?

wintry chasm
#

Some crafting recipes Maethil

#

Replica Allagan gear for example

forest bluff
#

what does marriage do

#

do i get a fat stack of gils in dowry

wintry chasm
#

Soo, I have 3 inventory tabs full of mob loot. I don't have any crafting jobs, so should I vendor everything or try to sell them in the market?
@hazy jay if it says "shop selling price:" I would be vendor it since it's easy to get back. Otherwise put it in the retainer if you can, no harm in it

signal gull
#

so, I just hit lvl 52 with DRG and wanted to know where do I get the next skills from?

granite swan
#

@forest bluff You get stuck with someone who is gonna spend all your Gil on useless crap they will never use :p

forest bluff
#

wait, it shares your gil?!

wintry chasm
#

@forest bluff lol no, you get a ring to teleport to your husband/wife and uhhh, a husband and wife, and depending on what wedding plan a 2-seater mount and the wedding gear

#

wait, it shares your gil?!
no

#

That's a joke

forest bluff
#

WEDDING PLAN oh boi

wispy parcel
#

@signal gull job quests, but you have to reach Ishgard first

hazy jay
#

Thank you @wintry chasm that makes alot of sense! But what if it says something like shop selling price : 73 (restricted)?

thorn mantle
#

when do i get to participate in the 20 player dungeons? ive only been in 4 player ones

wispy parcel
#

First 24 man is level 50

wintry chasm
#

That means it's from a vendor that needs to be unlocked. Usually beast tribe vendors tbh @hazy jay

remote lintel
#

its not a dungeon

#

they're raids

signal gull
#

@wispy parcel oh, so I just follow mq?

proper cipher
#

They're raids. Dungeons are 4 or 8 man

hazy jay
#

Got it, thanks again

wintry chasm
#

@thorn mantle first ones are main story

wispy parcel
#

Until you reach Ishgard yea

signal gull
#

aight thx

thorn mantle
#

alright, so ill just have to reach lvl 50 story

#

thanks guys

remote lintel
#

you have to beat the ultimate weapon

thorn mantle
#

and are there any differences between dungeons and raids

remote lintel
#

dungeons are 4 man and alliance raids are 24 man

#

normal raids are 8 man

proper cipher
#

Raids are three 8 man parties

wintry chasm
#

Between alliance raids and dungeons....one has more players and are shitshows

wispy parcel
#

^

thorn mantle
#

lol

wintry chasm
#

Also longer

wispy parcel
#

later alliance raids can go for almost an hour

wintry chasm
#

Normal 8-man raids are pretty akin to trials

#

But harder

#

(normal difficulty not much harder but savage difficulty much harder)

thorn mantle
#

so alliance raids are just longer dungeons with more ppl

proper cipher
#

I had an LOA where too many people went into one of the offshoots. Where you have to stand on the platform to let others kill bosses. So one side only had enough to stand on platform. Not to kill boss as well.

That was a pain

fast kernel
#

pretty much

remote lintel
#

@thorn mantle sure i guess

thorn mantle
#

ic

scarlet arrow
#

alliance raids can be fairly challenging the first time they come out

thorn mantle
#

trials are the boss fights right

wintry chasm
#

Yes

remote lintel
#

yes

fast kernel
#

Orbonne day 1 was a shit show lmao

remote lintel
#

so are normal raids

thorn mantle
#

ok

scarlet arrow
#

since you have more people who don't know what to do

wintry chasm
#

Last note on 24-mans, they are harder than dungeons but the level 50 one is pretty lenient

scarlet arrow
#

Rabanastre was also very difficult to clear for a good while

azure basalt
unreal sierra
#

@wintry chasm thanks for your patience and answers btw

fast kernel
#

The nier raids haven't been super difficult

scarlet arrow
#

and then there was the wiping weeping city of mhach

wintry chasm
#

@azure basalt I can't see that

azure basalt
#

let me reget the picture

unreal sierra
#

I like raids, I raid in wow classic all the time, I picked up ffxiv because it's more accessible so my wife and her family and my brothers could play. Group of about 5 peeps

#

So I was hoping they could try a raid

oak jolt
#

New player: don't have an option to choose machinist?

unreal sierra
#

I am sure CT will be easier than AQ...

remote lintel
#

@oak jolt machinist is a dlc clas

scarlet arrow
#

machinist is unlocked after you reach Ishgard (heavensward)

wintry chasm
#

Machinest is first expansion job

azure basalt
wintry chasm
#

What Braneric said, there is a main story requirement

azure basalt
#

there

scarlet arrow
#

need to do MSQ until you reach that point (you'll know when you get there)

oak jolt
#

Oh. Got the 20$ ShB. So I have to finish MSQ up to HS?

remote lintel
#

HW

#

yes

scarlet arrow
#

yes

wintry chasm
#

Pick another class for now

scarlet arrow
#

at that point you'll be able to unlock machinist, which starts at level 30

oak jolt
#

Hmm. Now to pick another class in the mean time.

wispy parcel
#

Machinist, Dark Knight and Astrologian all require you to reach Ishgard first

wintry chasm
#

The other expansion jobs have a level requirement only

vagrant scroll
#

Thankfully multiclassing is hella ez since it's all on the same character

scarlet arrow
#

(gating new jobs behind MSQ progress is something they haven't done since Heavensward and likely they wish they could take that decision back)

astral ivy
#

Hey guys, I've just started playing and I'm a couple hours in, but I've been having trouble getting the game to run at above 20 fps? I've messed with the settings tons to no avail.

vagrant scroll
#

what's your hardware

oak jolt
#

Would I need to tank or heal a lot getting to Ishgaurs by grinding dungeons? Heard it's shorter queue.

remote lintel
#

make sure youre running the game on your graphics card and not your integrated graphics card

#

you can't level grind to ishgard

wispy parcel
#

at lower level DPS do get much longer queues

remote lintel
#

its STORY locked

wintry chasm
#

^

vagrant scroll
#

@oak jolt tank has instant queues normally, but msq will throw you through most of the 1-50 grind easily.

wintry chasm
#

You can't just grind dungeons

wispy parcel
#

Yea this is a heavily story based game

vagrant scroll
#

a lot of people will do DPS, and queue dungeons while they do story.

wispy parcel
#

JRPG first MMO second

oak jolt
#

Oh. I think I meant, there wouldn't be a period where I have to grind out any levels outside the msq.

remote lintel
#

NOT REALLY

#

woops

#

not really

wintry chasm
#

I don't know how xp is since they changed the base game

#

I can't really judge

remote lintel
#

did they get rid of that 47-49 jump?

oak jolt
#

Coolp. Any hot servers or just choose randomly? Cross server play?

wintry chasm
#

If you go on a preferred server you shouldn't have an issue at all

#

Matchmaking is across the entire data center @oak jolt

wispy parcel
#

All servers on one Data Center play together

wintry chasm
#

I'd pick a preferred server

oak jolt
#

(PS appreciate the quick responses.)

scarlet arrow
#

servers with a star next to them are preferred, which gives double xp up to lvl 70 on all jobs

wintry chasm
#

Double XP gain from all sources up to level 70 and lasts 3 months

remote lintel
#

there is also cross platform play

unreal sierra
#

My family are doing MSQ right now and have not had to grind. Only doing MSQ and job quests one after the other. I get them to do a leveling duty with me once every few days too.

remote lintel
#

are you on a preferred server

wintry chasm
#

^^^^^

wispy parcel
#

Which would be faster grinding a DPS with trusts or queuing

astral ivy
#

@remote lintel That actually fixed it! stupid integrated graphics setting. Thanks for your help!

remote lintel
#

👍

wintry chasm
#

Queuing and doing fates/beast tribe I'm sure

wispy parcel
#

aight cool, Im grinding my NIN that I havent touched in 2 years

vernal urchin
#

for DRK materia, should i just be pumping crit as much as possible? or should i bring up direct hit as well?

remote lintel
#

get your sks to like 2.4 i think

#

then crit

wintry chasm
lime geode
#

@vernal urchin Did you steal my sunglasses?

vernal urchin
#

perhaps

wintry chasm
#

SkS to whatever you need to hit 5 GCDs in Blood Weapon or Delirium

lime geode
#

😄

outer plank
#

So I’m having issues with drifting on my ps4 controller and apparently the retail stores around me are sold out

#

So I was wondering if it’s possible to use a pro controller

remote lintel
#

for the switch?

outer plank
#

Yeah

wintry chasm
#

Ummm

remote lintel
#

yes I use it

wintry chasm
#

Oh huh

outer plank
#

So it is compatible that great

remote lintel
#

but I launch the game through steam since steam supports the controller

kind eagle
outer plank
#

Ah.. I’m not on steam

kind eagle
#

continue msq?

remote lintel
#

you can add the game to steam as a non steam game

#

and launch it that way

outer plank
#

Ah ok

#

TYVM

kind eagle
remote lintel
#

make sure your steam controller settings have the pro controller ticked

agile laurel
#

@kind eagle you need to unlock The Twinning, Akademia Anyder and one MSQ dungeon

kind eagle
#

What are those

#

and how do i

agile laurel
#

one unlocks with a quest in the crystarium, called something like By the Time you Read This

#

one unlock near Eulmore, outside on the... east side? from an ondo

#

and one is msq so keep at it

kind eagle
#

alright

#

lv80 is what u guys called expert?

wintry chasm
#

No

#

Expert is another roulette and it's just the most recent level 80 dungeons

tardy bay
#

do you loose your fantasia if you quit mid change or cancel the changes/can you still play without changing anything and retaining the fantasia?

wintry chasm
#

No

#

It's only lost when you confirm changes

agile laurel
#

Expert is two msq dungeons atm

#

so

kind eagle
#

so im still far on getting expert

wintry chasm
#

You could use the fantasia now, and never actually change your appearance until years later

shrewd relic
#

if my friend creates a character on a preferred server than transfers to mine, will he keep the road to 70 buff?

kind eagle
#

i tryna get the crystarium set

wintry chasm
#

He can't transfer for 90 days then @shrewd relic

weary burrow
#

its really annoying that some peope stand REALLY CLOSE to an npc i need to talk to xD

shrewd relic
#

zoom in and adjust ur camera :p

remote lintel
#

hold X to hide names

wintry chasm
#

Is your friend in your data center Satanic?

shrewd relic
#

he'll be in the same data center yeah

#

im on zalera but its not preferred anymore

wintry chasm
#

Well then just world visit then

#

It's fiiine

shrewd relic
#

its not the same 😦

#

but yeah youre right

wintry chasm
#

He won't be able to transfer until the buff runs out

remote lintel
#

it's practically the same

wintry chasm
#

It's not really an option

shrewd relic
#

true

#

he cant join my fc could he?

#

since hes on another server

wintry chasm
#

He can't no

shrewd relic
#

damn it really do be like that sometimes 💔

remote lintel
#

join his server bigbrain

shrewd relic
#

i need that emoji

#

and i cant 😦 i made all my friends in zalera

#

LOL

#

i dont have the social skills to make more

remote lintel
#

the emoji is part of this discord

shrewd relic
#

do i need nitro to use it

remote lintel
#

no

shrewd relic
#

wait what

#

YOOOOOOO

outer plank
#

@remote lintel you saved me 60 dollars bro

remote lintel
shell portal
#

I have been trying to have the discord overlay onto ffxiv with no success, any suggestions?

#

discord just doesnt detect the game

wintry chasm
#

Run Discord as Admin?

#

Oh

shell portal
#

alrd did that

#

both discord and the launcher are run as admin

#

I've tried re install it two times

remote lintel
#

does ff14 not show up in your game activity on discord

shell portal
#

yep it doesnt

#

that's what I'm trying to get into as well

remote lintel
#

did you add it in settings > game activity

shell portal
#

not detected

#

the launcher is detected, but not game

#

been googling around with no solultion as well

remote lintel
shell portal
#

aight I'll try, thanks mate

agile laurel
#

Is there any standard as to what first-timer bonus gives for what instances?

#

Cause I know it's 100 poetics for some stuff, but sometimes it's just gil

oak jolt
#

Where does it say preferred server?

remote lintel
oak jolt
#

Oh not in game?

remote lintel
#

it says it in game at the end of character creation

thick lynx
#

Heyyoo quick question is it possible to play across different data servers with the same character?

proven sparrow
#

@oak jolt should be a red star looking thing on the right of the server name

agile laurel
#

no

unkempt oasis
#

any good guide for eureka?

oak jolt
#

Oh. Create char first.

gloomy mortar
#

Retainer brought back gathering/crafting materia 7&8, both +CP and GP. Any reason why you’d want CP and GP over control and craftsmanship? Sell them?

obsidian patio
#

CP is extremely important as it lets you do more crafting actions

#

As for GP, in terms of collectables it really only matters in multiples of 200

strange flume
#

Hey all, is Foxy Lady Fate still doable?

remote lintel
#

yes

keen fable
#

does titan egi actually add anything to my kit? i didn't use yellow egi anyways

strange flume
#

Are there updated resources/walkthroughs for it? All the ones I find, even the most recent 4 months ago post on Reddit is outdated :S

keen fable
#

unless i really needed a shield

obsidian patio
#

It gives you personal shielding and burst AoE

keen fable
#

burst aoe?

obsidian patio
#

But if you want damage you go Garuda for multiple targets or Ifrit for single target

#

A lot of AoE damage fast

keen fable
#

isn't that blue boi?

twilit arch
#

@strange flume honestly the easiest way of doing foxy lady is joining a hunt linkshell or discord and keeping an eye out for boss fate call outs

remote lintel
#

i think they meant actually fighting the boss

obsidian patio
#

Bahamut is part of your rotation, not a summon you can keep out. If you mean him

keen fable
#

oh no i haven't unlocked bahamut or garuda

#

maybe that's why

#

i'm only level 37 lol

twilit arch
#

then all of those old resources are pretty much still correct. nothing about her has changed

proper cipher
#

I believe you basically need Titan for the Level 50 job quest and for pretty much everything else. Ifrit of Garuda are better

keen fable
#

i have titan egi ifrit and summon uno

twilit arch
#

chain still requires you to do the first three and hope her window is open

gloomy mortar
#

Would you choose CP/GP over control/Perception?

proper cipher
#

Although you can change them back to Carbuncles

twilit arch
#

because gp and cp allow you to use more skills

lavish vortex
#

Hi! I can’t see collectibles for delivery anymore after the patch, are they gone?

novel parcel
#

Can syrcus tower be done with 3 people unsynced? cause lab of ancients needed 4 people per pad and other annoying mechanics

twilit arch
#

collectables are their own section in the crafting log, they don't change

keen fable
#

I believe you basically need Titan for the Level 50 job quest and for pretty much everything else. Ifrit of Garuda are better
@proper cipher ty

obsidian patio
#

Yeah Syrcus can be done with 3

twilit arch
#

so they are no longer in the timers window

novel parcel
#

ah thank god

obsidian patio
#

World of Darkness can theoretically be done with 3 but for safety purposes you want 6 for the atomos

lavish vortex
#

@twilit arch so you can’t deliver them anymore for the rewards and exp?

proper cipher
#

What in Syrcus tower needs multiple people? I've only done it recently so it's basicall sped run through and probably missed like 75%of mechanics

obsidian patio
#

You still do

#

They’re just specific items now

twilit arch
#

you can, they're just specific items

proper cipher
#

I mean there was one boss fight that had platforms all around with jumpy things. But those never got used at all

twilit arch
#

look in the special recipe section for them

weary burrow
#

rofl first time titan in story, 2 teammates get thrown off cliff

outer plank
#

quick question, how do you hide the names of things when expanding the crosshotbar

#

i forgot

twilit arch
#

All 24mans need atleast 1 person per alliance to enter it unsync

lavish vortex
#

I don’t have any crafter leveled, I used to deliver gathered items

twilit arch
#

its not necessarily that you need those 2 other people for mechanics

strange flume
#

@twilit arch Where or who do I contact for the hunt linkshell?
Also the spawn points for the fates seem to have changed and I'm not sure if that means Foxy Lady spawn has changed too... Which also means Namai Elder could've moved to a different place too? I'm not sure :S

twilit arch
#

gathering hasn't changed

#

gather timed node times with collector's glove on, and then turn them in

proper cipher
#

Ah right

twilit arch
#

The spawn points for the fates have not changed

shrewd relic
#

has the frontlines bonus exp bug been fixed? 😮

obsidian patio
twilit arch
#

nothing about foxy lady has changed

remote lintel
#

just use the discord

#

instead of a hunt linkshell

lavish vortex
#

I used to be able to see them under the timers menu, I can’t see them anymore

strange flume
#

No I'm saying, they have because Ginko and Kinko aren't in the co-ordinates that the info said they would be at

twilit arch
#

Yes because the items request are static now

#

so there is no reason for it to be in the timers menu

solar surge
#

So, my friend is on free trial and just hit level 15. He can't start the rogue quest for some reason, just tells him he's not "the type". Is he not able to pick that class because he's a Lalafel, or is it because of free trial?

lavish vortex
#

Oh, thanks! And I deliver them to the same person?

twilit arch
#

yes, collectable turn ins are same place

obsidian patio
#

@solar surge they need to complete the level 10 class quest for their starting class

solar surge
#

Ahh okay, thank you

twilit arch
#

not sure what you're looking at then, because as i said foxy lady has not changed

woven night
#

Whats the easiest dps job to play? My main is job is WAR

remote lintel
#

what is easy to you

strange flume
#

@twilit arch
http://puu.sh/GihoW/4f6a1e7136.jpg
The red flag is where the information said that Mikuzume fate would be at. The fate that's on the map currently is the Mikuzume fate that I'm heading to right now

#

Namai Elder also spawns at the red flag

twilit arch
#

What are you looking at then

remote lintel

no

twilit arch

" A small golden fox will spawn at a broken shrine at Yanxia 34.2 , 12.9 when the Outfoxed fate is up" is what that picture shows, its not saying that Outfoxed spawns there

Hello all. I am new to the game as of 5.3. I have a question about what class to pick.

Can I be a viable samurai even if I don't plan on buying the dlc and subscription? Aka staying at lvl 60? I saw you unlock the class at lvl 50..

remote lintel
#

no

hazy heart
remote lintel
#

you need stormblood

young fjord
#

What iLvl does two nier coins give you?

twilit arch
#

The coins let you buy crystarium augment items

#

weapon augment currently not included

tawny wind
#

@remote lintel I see.. Guess I am gonna go for another class. Thanks for the quick reply.

twilit arch
#

so it lets you increase crystarium from 490 to 500

#

@hazy heart looks like its one of the hyur midlander racial hairstyles

remote lintel
#

i think its the man bun

sour spoke
#

What server on light has a decently big french playerbase

#

A french friend wants to start playin

faint flare
#

Would say moogle but thats chaos

young fjord
#

French are mostly on "Moogle" Server on Chaos

weary burrow
#

i just went to spriggan cause double exp

#

xd

faint flare
#

Light is slightly more German with Shiva being the German server

sour spoke
#

Issue is we cant play together then

true jasper
#

Is anyone having the issue where the game causes internet speed to drop?

faint flare
#

Otherwise no server on light stands out

tawny wind
#

What world is pure English and or Dutch?

faint flare
#

Shiva is German but i dont think any light server as a french reputation

young fjord
#

@tawny wind Shiva is German, that is closes you get

tawny wind
#

Nothing UK based?

young fjord
#

*I got a couple of dutch players on lich

faint flare
#

All but shiva is English primarily

#

On light

young fjord
#

Phoenix, Odin = Raiding
Zodiark, Lich = Community/RP
Shiva = German
Twintania = Memes

tawny wind
#

Rp = role playing?

young fjord
#

Yeah

tawny wind
#

🤔

#

Guess I'll start twintania for my first playthrough and go to Odin for my main

faint flare
#

You can world visit any of the worlds

remote lintel
#

why make 2

faint flare
#

So

past blaze
#

yo can i buy this complete edition w/o applying it to avoid having to pay subscription?

proper cipher
#

You can be all Classes on one character

faint flare
#

Just start wherever and world visit for what you want

past blaze
#

until im 60 and want to commit

remote lintel
#

yes scrime

faint flare
#

Everything is cross server so you only pick a server for the free company/guild

proper cipher
#

With no real downsides. Stats are all item based

tawny wind
#

Oohyeah that is a thing on this game! I forgot!

#

Guess I have to pick one now xD

Thanks for the help, any tips before I start?

MSQ is essential. Levelling is done via dungeons and quests, Not mob farming
bluequest These quest markers indicate that the quest unlocks something

outer plank
#

ah there we go, i havent used remote in awhile

tawny wind
#

Sweet! Heading off now!

remote lintel
#

yeah do the blue quests except the ones that unlock classes

#

and do the first blue quest that says "leves"

#

the other leve quests arent important

young fjord
#

"Leaves of [Current Location]"

mild ermine
#

When does Pupper Bunker rewards reset? Or is it a week from the time you've played it?

past blaze
#

yo approx how often do they do these 50% off sales?

#

on the complete edition

#

or is this the first time

young fjord
#

@mild ermine !reset

#

On tuesdays

mild ermine
#

Oh!

#

Oh okay thank you!

weary burrow
#

if i get to 70, my exp buff is gone, letssay i go lvl an alt job then, do i get it back or

young fjord
#

90 days from character creation OR whenever your server loses preferred world status

faint flare
#

You'll get it back

#

It temporarily hides itself whenever you're on a job over 70

weary burrow
#

cool cool

#

if only 90 days ill have to get all alt jobs to 70 before then xd

faint flare
#

Its 90days minimum

#

Longer if server stays preferred

#

And they should stay preferred until next patch, either 5.35 or 5.4

verbal forge
#

btw does it take long to reach the level cap?

remote lintel
#

depends how much you play

#

whether you skip everything

crimson wind
#

Which job quests require flying?

weary burrow
#

is there a speed diff between mounts?

faint flare
#

No

#

All mounts are the same speed at the end of the day

twilit arch
#

scholar and i think machinist has hw quests with flying required @crimson wind

crimson wind
#

Kk

faint flare
#

The sds fenrir has the lv1 speed boost early but after doing story in that area its applied to all mounts

crimson wind
#

I have flying everywhere anyway, was just wondering

outer plank
#

@remote lintel hey question, how do i change button mapping around on the pro controller?

#

so that my "b" is my x button

#

and so forth

remote lintel
#

system config > gamepad settings > button config

#

it wont affect your cross hotbar skills though

glass cove
#

hello
i just managed to beat ramuh (extreme) and i got a Large Levin Orb
what is that used for?

left moth
#

crafted glowing weapons

glass cove
#

ah okay
do you know which craft?
the normal blacksmith i assume?

left moth
#

and a housing item (lord of levin lamp)

#

most are blacksmith although some goldsmith. books are alc. it's a mess but can search the recipies

glass cove
#

hmm okay

#

ill store it for now then
thanks for the help kisasuSushyLove

left moth
#

they are master 2 book items so if don't have that might not be able to see them

#

(I probably should have noticed the book part before the which job can craft and repair what part)

glass cove
#

haha
i guess the books i can come by from the blacksmith guild?

faint flare
#

No

outer plank
#

@remote lintel figured out you can change crossbar hotbar buttons through calibration

faint flare
#

In the endgame hub area of that level cap, so mor dhona, Idyllshire, rhalgars and eulmore

outer plank
#

so now my pro controller acts like ps4 button mapping

remote lintel
#

nice

glass cove
#

oh i know the NPC then

#

i need to get any crafting up to that level first tho haha

granite swan
#

Do all the crafting classes require lv 30 to make prisms? Armorer does, but im curious about the others

left moth
#

Kisasushi: for master 2 have to get master 1 (with scrip i believe) and then craft 2 items which can be turned in for said master 2 book. it's nowhere near as difficult as it used to be although it's still a pain in the ass for what amounts to glamour equipment

obsidian patio
#

Glamour prisms are a level 15 craft now

static yacht
#

can you not set

#

unreal as duty complete?

granite swan
#

Except they require lv 29 material

static yacht
#

I cleared the duty but it won't let me

granite swan
#

@obsidian patio For armorer atleast, it needs steel rivets which is lv 29

obsidian patio
#

It’s because the recipes used to be level 30

glass cove
#

oh damn that does sound like a hassle
but the things we do for dope ass weapons XD
thanks for all that info @left moth

obsidian patio
#

And they just never bothered adjusting the recipe for... reasons

granite swan
#

So they half assed it huh lol

faint flare
#

Nope takk cause you're only meant to do it once a week

#

So

bold flume
#

Good money methods pre endgame? Just adventurer in need?

faint flare
#

Outside of the retelling

left moth
#

can get some of the prism mats from beast tribe vendors but that's pricy compared to getting the prisms themselves off gc vendor

granite swan
#

well im half way to 29 for the rivets, may as well goto 30 heh

static yacht
#

which map does the new crafting mat drop from

#

zonureskin?

faint flare
#

Yes

agile laurel
#

it certainly does drop from zonure

#

idk if it drops from glider but highly doubt

granite swan
#

and crafting is giving me something to blow my gil on, even with how cheap the materials are lol

keen fable
#

so

#

during aoe pulls

#

is it best to start with titan for aoe then go to blue carbuncle

obsidian patio
#

Stick with sapphire, Titan only beats sapphire if the pull dies super fast

left moth
#

garuda/emerald carby is the aoe pet, titan/topaz is a def buff pet

keen fable
#

ah so it has to hit all 3 ticks to outdps titan

#

but most packs will

agile laurel
#

er. well. if you have 2 Assault 2's, and maybe also an enkindle to burn

#

titan does more damage

#

objectively

#

but only for then

left moth
#

if something dies fast might be better to just stick with emerald/garuda unless pet can quickly get to melee range when switching targets

agile laurel
#

and really it's a matter of 'why bother, you're killing trash'

keen fable
#

but a pack would technically have to live through two egi 2's

#

to do more damage than titan

sour laurel
#

How am I supposed to collect maple sap for the lvl 10 Botany quest? The closest I'm seeing is Latex. I even bought an off-hand on the off chance it'd make the 2nd & last slots visible. My Botany's lvl 12 now

faint flare
#

You have to remember the autos and Egi assaults 1

agile laurel
#

generally if I have 2 assault 2's on stack and a pack is incoming, i'll switch to titan, burn both, maybe enkindle and wait it out, then go back to garuda

left moth
#

and yeah if it's just a difference between 9 seconds to kill them all vs 11 seconds...

agile laurel
#

exactly vinyl, we're saying for the value of egi assault 2 and enkindle, titan outdpses on paper but there is zero reason to have it out past then

keen fable
#

You have to remember the autos and Egi assaults 1
@faint flare ah true.

#

i don't have enkindle yet

agile laurel
#

because earthen fury is a greater potency overall and mountain buster is damage up front

keen fable
#

titan with enkindle would give 750 potency right?

agile laurel
#

i can't remember the exact figure

#

it's more than aerial blast

left moth
#

@sour laurel lv 5 nodes at north shroud, or be lazy and get from O'rhoyod in old gri

keen fable
#

a signature attack just means that it attacks with an assault 2 ability, right?

agile laurel
#

No

obsidian patio
#

the nodes with Maple Sap are around x26, y27 in the north shroud

faint flare
#

Ni

sour laurel
#

@left moth I've been farming lvl 5 Mature trees at N. Shroud

agile laurel
#

Signature atk is the enkindle ability

faint flare
#

Thats assaults 2

agile laurel
#

for garuda it's aerial blast (upfront dps) ifrit it's a cone damage and dot, and titan is an area damage and dot

left moth
faint flare
#

Enkindle is Inferno/aerial blast/whatever the sludge is calles

agile laurel
#

!action inferno

zinc orbitBOT

agile laurel
#

apologies for that but there you go

keen fable
#

ah

#

so enkindle double egi 2 would do more damage if the mob pack doesnt live 30s

#

on titan

#

otherwise sapphire just does more

agile laurel
#

double egi assault 2, more like

#

enkindle is a long CD

#

!action enkindle

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Enkindle** : lvl 50 SMN (180.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Commands pet to use its signature attack.
Can only be executed while in combat.

halcyon lynx
#

is there a seperate discord for hunts?

keen fable
#

of course, oculd just use sapphire for the sake of not min maxing

faint flare
keen fable
#

it's not a huge potency difference for having to add extra complexity, right?

#

on trash pulls thats not a huge deal, i'd assume

faint flare
#

Not really

#

Plus eventually you'll just be forgoing most of it for bahamut/phoenix cleaves

keen fable
#

aight

agile laurel
#

yeah

#

true

faint flare
#

Trash generally lives long enough for 1 full egi 2 from garuda then i just get the 2nd out for the last assault as dwt almost expires then cut the aoe short for bahamut

#

And trash dies during bahamut

I’d personally suggest upgrading gear again at 75 or so

#

If you don’t want to deal with low gathering chance

#

And then probably craft/buy new tools as you can

upper mortar

Whats the best way to get the SB extreme weapons? Do people normaly duty finder the extreme fights or try to form a party to do them. Nearing end of ShB and havent touched extreme trials.

alright ill try to make some more money b4 then im broke af atm

twilit arch

no, extreme fights are not done thru duty finder

short sparrow
#

Is it possible to change the characteristics of a retainer once you have them?

twilit arch

use party finder to find groups

Yes, you can get a retainer fantasia to change them

either from the marketboard or getting lucky with quick ventures

for AOE pulls, should i be bio/masma then baning before doing my egi abilities and outburst?

(level 40 fyi)

twilit arch

yes, put your dots up first and use egi assaults to weave bane

#

then spam outburst

keen fable

alright thank you

so a basic rotation,

yeah that works at that level

if you equip an axe you'll swap to Marauder, a sword for Gladiator, etc.

Do I want the equips from beginner quests, or these all games bronze pieces?

after you've unlocked them, of course

ninja is good as a job but not as braindead or rewarding as other melee jobs since have to remember a lot of mudras depending on level and if Kassatsu is up)

there are male viera, they just don't come out of the forest very often are rare @small atlas

#

myta: at 60 can get proto ultima accessories which is good enough item level wise. for 70 equipment i don't think it would matter (can get crafted accessory and augment that still)

twilit arch
#

for gathering collectables, just use a site like garlandtools to make a time node list and just rotate thru those @gritty oracle

gritty oracle
#

no you got it wrong, lalas reproduce by headpatting popotoes and then burying them. Then in the autumn they just dig up the freshly grown lalas.

obsidian patio
#

Especially in this channel of all places.

#

Lalafells reproduce just like any other race. And no they don’t start full size

sour laurel
#

Wait. So that was false?

obsidian patio

They simply reach adult height sooner

gritty oracle

lmao Sonarus

just try to imagine what would it be like for a regular sized lala to carry another regular sized lala to full term

and then give birth to it

violet star
#

is a tank considered undergeared if they're wearing level 64 gear in doma castle?

gritty oracle
#

||doma castle|| is like 6...8? I think like, with a very good geared healer they're gonna be fiiiiiiine

twilit arch
#

not really, ideally should be in 66 HQ gear if possible

#

not 64 is not the worst

left moth
#

they are more likely to have a bad time but it's not the end of the world

#

as long as they have msq giveaways or mettle body/leg

gritty oracle
#

then again undergeared tank + undergeared or barely geared healer = you're gonna have a bad time

violet star
#

i probably suck then

#

they did a big pull and i used 6 aetherflows and they still died

#

and was hard casting heal after

twilit arch
#

the main thing is are they rotating cds properly

I like how everyone keeps smashing fist into hand in story and theres no sound >.>

gritty oracle

what's your own gear Mip

violet star

im wearing level 70+ gear

If they aren't, then even if they're properly geared they're going to be annoying to heal

did you sacred soil

raven sage
#

Certain pulls in that dungeon can be too big for at-level tanks

violet star
#

yeah i used sacred soil

raven sage
#

Like the colossus with anything else can go wrong very quickly if handled badly

violet star
#

it was with that colossus guy

#

the tank melted so quickly

gritty oracle
#

My "undergeared tank does big pull" rota would be like, excog sacred soil whispering dawn fey illu and pray

raven sage
#

Yeah that'll happen

#

Not at all your fault

gritty oracle
#

fey illu does wonders for big pulls because it boosts your adlo big time

#

so many people forget about it

violet star

yeah i should have alternated between adlo/physick

#

i kinda panicked

#

it's all good

#

he just did smaller pulls after that and it went fine

void zodiac
#

is there a good crafter leveling guide online?

gritty oracle
#

get to 20 with crafting log, then firmament

void zodiac
#

should i level them all at once?

gritty oracle
#

ideally, yeah

void zodiac
#

and everytime theres a new crafter quest id go back and do it

gritty oracle
#

because you can share gear between them

#

eh, I'd wait with quests

void zodiac
#

like ignore em?

gritty oracle
#

I prefer to do my crafter quests at least 5-10 levels overleveled because I'm horribly lazy and have no idea what a challenge is anymore.

#

but in any case do the gatherer quests first, so you have some mats stockpiled for crafter quests

void zodiac
#

oh okay

#

thanks

gritty oracle
#

you can ignore fisher, leveling it is completely independent from anything else and no crafter relies on it

#

think of fisher as a completely independent thing

#

what you'll need loads and loads of in crafter quests is titanium, aurum regis sand and adamantite ore

edgy flax

So I purchased a cosmetic from the mogstation, I have glamours unlocked but since the cosmetic i bought is lv1 it won't let me cast is to my current gear. Is there anyway to make this work ? Or can I only use the cosmetic if I don't plan on actually fighting things ?

gritty oracle
#

I remember these three being reoccurring mats

#

@edgy flax Okay, so are you putting them in your glamouring dresser and making a glamour plate?

edgy flax

No, I'm no sure how that is done

okay, have you done the glamour quest in vesper bay?

blue quest, hard to miss

protip. do any blue quest you seethat's not a job unlock or levequest unlock"

#

while you're thee do the dye quest too

I can access the the glamor dresser in the inn I'm just not sure how to use it

Glamour FAQ

'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'

Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.

'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'

Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.

@faint flare got it, I've been doing that, I guess I just need to wait until my gear is better!

edgy flax

So the lv is just an issue then ?

#

I can't use this cosmetic during battle ?

raven sage
#

You will never be able to not glamour a level 1 item onto something unless you're literally naked

edgy flax
#

Oh maybe I'm picking them in the wrong order

proven bay
#

Can you buy a stage of the ARR relic weapon without completing it fully?

edgy flax
#

Am I supposed to pick my gear then choose the cosmetic I want it to look like ?

raven sage
#

If that's how you want to go about it yes

#

But you should put them into the dresser

#

It uses one prism and then never again unless you take it out and want to put it back in

remote lintel
#

put gear into dresser using prisms > put individual gear pieces into a plate and save > apply plate

Alright thank you , I think I've gotnit

hallow hatch
#

Is there a way to get an invisible shield anymore? I know there was the garo event but is there any other way now?

twilit arch
#

shiva unreal itself has no rewards, all the rewards for it are tied to the faux hollows mini game

remote lintel
#

oh

twilit arch
#

yes, they added invisible shield to gold saucer @hallow hatch

hallow hatch
#

Oh I thought that was taken out

twilit arch
#

the GARO shield was removed

hallow hatch
#

Ohhh

twilit arch
#

but they added in a replacement

#

called emperor's new shield

hallow hatch
#

Oh shouldn't that be in the market?

twilit arch
#

no

hallow hatch
#

Oh

twilit arch
#

as i said, its gotten with mgp and its not tradeable

hallow hatch
#

that makes sense

my friend is running a 1050 ti, and while he's above 60 fps usually, he's getting frame drops all the way down to single digits, like 3 fps kinda thing. it's happening for like 10-20 seconds every 5 or so minutes, not on a hard clock but thats the average. he's running exclusive fullscreen but it happens in borderless too. windows game mode thing is off and his power optimization settings is on performance. vsync is off and so too is the framerate limiter. he's also tried running the game in dx11 mode as well as dx9 mode, and it will happen even on lower settings and such.

#

anyone seen anything like this?

#

does not happen when he runs any other games

gritty oracle
#

try reinstalling?

unique oasis
#

sure, that's on the table but in the meantime im trying to see if anyone has experienced this problem firsthand

vivid thorn
#

Can you actually change classes when using DF to run content? (Like, say, getting Rhivathyn or Nidhogg as a tank and switch to DPS before the pull)

unique oasis
#

no

#

in the vast majority of cases, you cannot change jobs in a duty

twilit arch
#

the only time you can switch jobs in an instance is frontlines

unique oasis
#

the only one i can even think of is that you can change jobs in eureka when you're at the primary aetheryte for the given map

twilit arch
#

while eureka is an instance its...an open world instance of sorts

unique oasis
#

but not when you walk out into the map

little swift
#

also maps

unique oasis
#

i mean it counts as being in a duty

little swift
#

if you're doing map portals you can swap inside

unique oasis
#

you get a status that says "in duty" that's good enough to count for me

twilit arch
#

but either way its not duty finder content

true forge
#

is there anyway to communicate with someone if i only have the free trial?

twilit arch
#

pretty much limited to say

true forge
#

ah that sucks

leaden ginkgo
#

is +3 Control a noticeable upgrade?

#

my Lv35 HQ crafter gear is almost as good as the HQ Lv41

#

even the Lv46 pieces cap at +4 CP melds, those pieces have less slots too, so it's basically the same as the Lv35 HQ gear

#

is seacloth from maps?

twilit arch
#

yes

leaden ginkgo
#

yeah thats what i thought

little swift
#

stats sub50 seem insignificant but every point counts then

ocean vessel
#

what're some easy cool looking mounts i can get in arr

leaden ginkgo
#

ponies if you can get a level 80 or 2 in a party with you

#

all the arr extreme trials have horse mounts with special effects to match tat boss

#

and if you get them all you get a cool kirin mount

long vapor
#

any suggestions on what to do while waiting for DR ques to pop for leveling? I did the beast tribe pixie quest already im lvl 74

remote lintel
#

fates

#

crafting

#

if youre into that

long vapor
#

naw not much of a crafter

#

isnt there like a hunt board or something I can do ya?

deep herald
#

help

#

idk what to do

twilit arch
#

use your synthesis skill

deep herald
#

press the 1?

twilit arch
#

yes

deep herald
#

oh ok thanks

#

im completely new to this xd

#

i want my own clothes

twilit arch
#

as you get higher in level, you'll get different skills

#

the basic of crafting though is you use synthesis skills to increase the progress bar, and when you hit 100% you complete the craft. Use touch skills to increase the quality bar, to try and make the item high quality, how much quality you put into the craft increase the chances of making it high quality. if you fill out the quality bar you're assured a high quality craft

#

that said you need to be mindful of the durability of a craft, if you hit 0 before you fill out the progress bar you will fail the craft

gritty oracle
#

Hunts are usually done in parties. I recommend getting into Gathering, leveling your chocobro in fates, starting an older relic (HW is amazing), sidequesting for lore, MSQ, leveling other jobs to 15 with leves/hunting log, getting blue quests, doing GC stuff, sightseeing log, or other beast tribes.

@long vapor

#

Probably only if you're into wackiness or the lore

remote lintel
#

do you care about the greatest side story in the game

#

if yes then do it

#

then dont do it

#

it only gives you cosmetics and emotes

gritty oracle
#

Cerberus yeah, I definitely recommend dwarven beast ttribe, but what does that have to do with Hildibrand?

limpid lantern
#

Hey, the i90 chest for warrior, where do you get that ?

#

The second lvl 50 chest

gritty oracle
#

Class quests? Ii guess

tulip plover
#

So how does rook turrent and overdrive work

gritty oracle
#

If you've done 2.0 unlock (aka can fly in ARR areas) then you should be getting Ironworks gear instead

little swift
#

your rook autoturret uses the battery gauge resource to summon, with a minimum of 50 battery gauge needed to summon it, but more gauge increases the duration its around @tulip plover

warped nest
#

@limpid lantern finish level 50 job quest, get coffer as reward, open coffer

limpid lantern
#

Yes got it thx

gritty oracle
#

@tulip plover
Basically, hot shot and the 1-2-3 combo charges battery gauge. When you use turret, It consumes all battery and turret iis stronger the more battery you expend (well, stays longer). Don't worry about overdrive tbh unless boss will be untargetable when it explodes.

little swift
#

at the end of its duration, it will use a finisher but rook overdrive can be used to fire that early if you know the boss is becoming untargetable

sick osprey
#

where to get lvl60 gear ?

gritty oracle
#

Idyllshire

warped nest
#

If your story is not lvl 60 yet, don't worry about it

tulip plover
#

So only just use rook autoturrent?

sick osprey
#

story requires me to go lvl60 dungeon but i dont have high enough gear ilvl

gritty oracle
#

Yes, but if boss will be untargetable when it runs out, just explode it early

twilit arch
#

did you do your lvl 60 job quest?

little swift
#

basically until you get automaton queen, use autoturret at 100 gauge

sick osprey
#

ooooh it gave a whole gear set, didnt even notice :O

tulip plover
#

Ok so dont just do it how you do overheat and use it whenever available?

#

Save up some battery to make it last longer

gritty oracle
#

Yeah but with overheat, I'd save heat if wildfire is gonna come up soon. Never use wildfire without overheat.

#

Generally save up 100 battery, but in dungeons I just save it for bosses. Guaranteed to cap out by then.

mental geyser
#

Can any black mages help me with an aetherial manipulation macro

little swift
#

yeah once you get queen that becomes less relevant

#

you would generally want to align it more with buffs

idle sentinel
#

What's the lowest amount of speed to stay at 2.38 for warrior

remote lintel
#

@mental geyser what about it

idle sentinel
#

I thought it's like 1518 or something but cant remember

mental geyser
#

I've tried a few and none worked. I just need a working macro to target and cast AM

remote lintel
#

a mouseover macro?

little swift
#
/ac "Aetherial Manipulation" <mo>
/ac "Aetherial Manipulation" <mo>
/ac "Aetherial Manipulation" <mo>
/ac "Aetherial Manipulation" <mo>
/micon "Aetherial Manipulation" ```
mental geyser
#

TY

little swift
#

something like that

#

fill all the space with it

#

so its more likely to go off

gritty oracle
#

Also, a question of my own
Should I ignore Gauss/ricochet while overheating? I have ping issues, and if I try to expend charges not to cap out, I lose at least one overheat GCD to clip, which is probably ouch if I also have wildfire on.

leaden ginkgo
#

Guys, I don't know how to check for free hous spots,as much as I can see, everything is in use already, is that possible?

gritty oracle
#

Yep

little swift
#

ideally what you want is to alternate gauss/ricochet inbetween heat blasts but if you're having ping problems, i'd go with fitting the 5 gcds in over trying to fit the weaves

gritty oracle
#

Getting a house is very tough usually, and now it's pretty much impossible due to auto demolish being turned off

warped nest
#

If the spot is free, it will show on the ward before you enter

little swift
#

how bad is your ping?

leaden ginkgo
#

So no houses for new players, nice

warped nest
#

No houses for all players

leaden ginkgo
#

There are sometimes houses with the same name, like 20 or so

warped nest
#

It is not like all existing players each get a house

#

They don't

gritty oracle
#
  1. I always clip I'm guessing like 50 to 100 milliseconds if I try to weave 1.5s GCD stuff (like RDM melee combo or overheat)
obsidian patio
#

Those are people abusing the system and having like 20 different service accounts with their own FCs

leaden ginkgo
#

😦

little swift
#

yeah i'd go with fitting the 5 gcds

gritty oracle
#

More like 50-ish

leaden ginkgo
#

thanks for the answers

little swift
#

empty your gauss/rico charges before you overheat

#

to compensate

gritty oracle
#

Mhm

#

Thanks!

warped nest
#

blow your loads before you go in heat

leaden ginkgo
#

there are 54 houses of "Lucis" listed, just why

warped nest
#

I'm sorry

gritty oracle
#

Also if hot shot is about to come off CD before I would overheat, should I delay overheat to get hot shot on cd before overheating?

#

In ye very olden times there wasn't a cap on houses owned, and when the cap got implemented, existing people with many houses got grandfathered in

little swift
gritty oracle
#

At least that's what I've heard

#

Ah

#

Thanks!

long vapor
#

whats the purpose tof the red dots on the map?

tame quail
#

So I unlocked the New Game + and I'm trying to go back to do the paladin quests. I used a book to skip the levels from 30+ up to 70 last expansion. However the new game+ lets me replay the gladiator quests but I can't find a way to do the paladin ones?

faint flare
#

@long vapor points of interest

remote lintel
#

they havent added the job upgrade quests

tame quail
#

ok

remote lintel
#

only the base class quests

tame quail
#

alright thanks, that clears up that confusion

primal relic
#

I have 3 dumb questions, how do I know if I can still be recruited for recruit a friend?

remote lintel
#

did you buy sub time?

weary burrow
#

sleeping is annoying when havin funn >.>

primal relic
#

No, I only got what SE gave for free.

remote lintel
#

then you can be recruited

primal relic
#

Which was starter edition I believe a few months back

remote lintel
#

if your sub ran out idk if you can still be recruited

wintry chasm
#

You can

#

just so long as you bought the game but haven't subbed

primal relic
#

I didn’t buy a sub, it came w/ free starter edition.

twilit arch
#

the 30 days free from starter edition doesn't count as buying a sub

#

so you can still be recruited

primal relic
#

Says “0 days subscripted” in account

remote lintel
#

yes

#

it should work

primal relic
#

Alright, is there a place or forum where I can request a friend code, and where would I type it in?

remote lintel
#

can give you mine

primal relic
#

I would appreciate it, do we have to be in same world?

twilit arch
#

no

remote lintel
#

no

primal relic
#

And do I have to buy a sub first?

twilit arch
#

no

primal relic
#

Or after?

twilit arch
#

buy a sub after you've enter the code

primal relic
#

Okay

remote lintel
#

4ZACXD9W

#

log in to your mog station account

#

click manage service options > enter recruitment code

primal relic
#

Says successful, now I just purchase correct?

remote lintel
#

you can buy sub time now yes

robust magnet
#

What's the ideal order to upgrade to Aesthete gear? I got white scrip tools, Facet gear and Dwarven accessories.

remote lintel
#

@white sinew yes your retainers sell stuff for 7 days

#

your gil wont be lost

orchid bramble
#

Are people with recruitment codes only on Reddit or can we ask here for one?

faint flare
#

The retainer stops selling on the market

remote lintel
#

@orchid bramble you can try here

faint flare
#

And will just hold your items and gil

#

They'll just be on the listing page

#

But won't appear on the market

#

Until you interact with them again

#

So they'll still have the items on them

orchid bramble
#

Sweet... thanks @remote lintel

Would anyone be so kind as to provide this new player a recruitment code? 😉

robust magnet
#

If I knew how

leaden ginkgo
#

Hey guys I got a question I'm sure you're all sick of hearing but given the new patch none of the resources around can apply to it anymore so here goes

I main AST and I wanna try out some dps, should I be SMN or MCH?

faint flare
#

Do whatever you like the look of more

remote lintel
#

@orchid bramble i can only recruit 1 person every 3 hours, sorry lol

robust magnet
#

pick a DPS you enjoy, since AST is a healer you won't find a comparable class, however, if you enjoy healing as a role SMN will co-level SCH as well.

leaden ginkgo
#

Whats the general feel of the two though? The way I understand it SMN is all about DoTs and pet management and MCH is rigid rotation?

robust magnet
#

@orchid bramble SRP8D2MK try that code

#

Haven't touched Mch myself but if it's anything like Bard, the rotations can be random

faint flare
#

Mch has more freedom and flexibility on where it can Overheat

robust magnet
#

SMN is very high level and DOT focused yeah. But they're much more.

verbal forge
#

btw which classes are good for utility and dps for beginners?

remote lintel
#

monk or lancer probably

verbal forge
#

i started with dragoon

#

*Ahem Lancer since im still a low level

leaden ginkgo
#

MNK has mantra which is pretty useful for healers

robust magnet
#

bard has some utility

remote lintel
#

a lot of utility*

verbal forge
#

tbh thought bard is like a Support buffer class

#

then i saw it uses a bow that doubles as a harp

faint flare
#

Not really

#

There's no real Support/buffer jobs

remote lintel
#

i don think the bow doubles as a harp i think they just have a pocket harp that they whip out

faint flare
#

You're all dps

verbal forge
#

i see

#

its only DPS with utility buffs

faint flare
#

Just have some raid buffs here and there

warped nest
#

Even tank and healer need to dps

faint flare
#

All except black mage, machinist and Samurai (and tanks and white mage) have some form of raid buff

warped nest
#

There is no job that only heals / buff
